Excerpt from Pearls of the Pacific: Being Sketches of Missionary Life and Work in Samoa and Other Islands in the South Seas Y aim in Pearls of the Pacific is to give boys and girls a clear, true picture of life, as well as Mission work, in the South Seas. My own experience of this life and work was all too Short it was limited to three brief, happy years in Samoa, and therefore my main purpose has been to write of what I have seen. That, and that alone, accounts for Samoa filling so large a Space in the following pages. My best thanks are due to my friends and former colleagues, the Revs. J. E. Newell, Of Malua, and Walter Hackett, formerly of Apia, for much valuable and suggestive information (indeed, the book could not have been brought up to date without the help of the former) also to my school-fellow and college friend, the Rev. L. H. Gaunt, m.a., the London Missionary Society's Editor, for much kindly editorial assistance. I wish also to express my deep indebtedness to Mr. A. Tattersall, Of Apia, and my friend and former colleague, Mr. H. S. Griffin, of the l.m.s. Printing Press, Malua, for the use Of their photographs.
